Gateway Ticketing has implemented a RFID wristband solution at Atlantis, the focal point of Palm Jumeirah in Dubai.
Designed as a replacement for cash in the park, guests can purchase and charge a wristband at any Galaxy Point of Sale station in the park, using it for purchases of items including food, beverages and souvenirs.
When the balance is depleted, the wristband can then be recharged. Locker purchases are also managed through the wristband.
In addition, Galaxy's full range of ticket sales and admission control solutions were implemented at Atlantis. Besides Galaxy Point of Sale, these included order entry, resource management, manager's workstation, eGalaxy Server, wireless admission control and turnstiles.
Visitors and hotel guests can purchase one- and three-day admissions through Galaxy POS in the ticketing plaza, the call centre or online. For web or call centre purchases, guests receive a confirmation letter or PrintAtHome ticket, which can then be exchanged for a wristband at the ticket window.
The resort includes a luxury hotel, an aquarium with unique marine habitats, a dolphin interaction facility and the largest waterpark in Dubai, Aquaventure, with a capacity of 8,000 to 10,000 people.
